Google Photos now lets you stop Memories from ruining the mood

You can finally stop the app from adding random music to your memories.

Google Photos now lets you stop Memories from ruining the mood

Google Photos is adding a feature that allows users to disable background music in Memories. This new toggle option will prevent random music tracks from being added to Memories, including the End of Year Recap. The feature is likely a server-side rollout, so it may take some time to appear for all users. Memories in Google Photos have been a useful and fun feature for many, as it often brings back memories of special moments such as college days or the first date.

However, the background music sometimes chosen for these Memories can be distracting and ruin the mood. Now, users will have the option to turn off this background music, ensuring that their Memories are enjoyed exactly as they were experienced. Still, videos in Memories will retain the original recorded audio.
